Is anyone else's Resident Services very close to their airport?

[Lars]

Yes, and i did that by choice.

 

[Bugs]

Yes, it's actually pretty annoying to me :/

This is immediately outside the airport, you can see the resident services almost straight away

 

[Stretch]

I have the exact same problem. My plaza is only 4 steps from my airport so I have no clue how to spruce up my entrance.

 

[Fye]

Mine is just 4 steps in front (and 1 to the left) of my airport so I don't have a grand entrance, you enter straight into a downtown shopping area. which will work great if I ever get a good enough turnip price to host people

 

[JackABee]

Yup, my resident services is pretty close. I think I did a decent job at making it though!

I'm having trouble decorating my entrance because the resident services is so close to the airport.

I've put a pic of my map just so yous can get an idea!

does anyone else have this problem? if you do, how have you designed your entrance?

My island is a work in progress and a blank canvas right now but i made a nice entrance however my RS is so close i can't do much unless i entirely redo my entrance which is unfortunate because it was my only idea so far for the entrance. I need ideas please!

 

[Clock]

It is and I kind of regret it, but I don’t want to reset my town, because I spent so much work on it.

 

[Rosch]

Mine is around 10 blocks away (exactly similar to Bug's post above). At least there's enough space for decor.

 

[Leebles]

I could maybe cram a cliff or a waterfall or something in there - I've seen really neat entrances before - but I struggle a lot with terraforming, so I just went for symmetrical trees and fossils. 9/10 times I terraform, I sit there wishing I could undo it

 

[Fendi]

When I was choosing my map, I specifically wanted one that was a reasonable distance since I wanted to create a pathway leading to residential services. I feel like having the airport too close to the residential services building kind of cuts your possibilities with designing the entrance.

But I have seen some remarkable entrances though despite this! I just don't think I'd be able to manage with it

On my island, the plaza and the airport are only 5 spaces apart. I decorated it like this:

Mine is similar to yours, but is a few spaces higher. Even to me, there seems to be a small amount of room between the airport and RS.

Mine looks exactly like yours!!
Do you happen to have screenshots of how you decorated your airport entrance? In desperate need of inspo

 

[Blueskyy]

Wow I didn’t realize how close it can get. I thought mine might be close based on my map but I’m able to fit a whole plaza so I guess mine is relatively far?

 

[Marshmallows]

I see how it can be annoying, but when I was resetting I actually wanted a close and centered "town hall" to make it seem like you were walking straight into downtown. I really like what you guys have done with your entrances.

I could try later this evening. It's nothing too special, and I will probably change it in the future when I can think of something better.

 

[fallenchaoskitten]

Mine is fairly close.
Thankfully right side of the dock lines up perfectly with the right side of services which made being able to path soooo much easier. @.@
In the big opening I have a fountain and a few flowers to make it look nice.

Edit:
Here is an old screenshot

Since then I have added some hedge fencing, more detail to my welcome sign, a bench, etc.

 

[seularin]

mine is--not right in front of it, but close to it but off to the side to the right and close to the beach(?)

 

[moonbox]

i think we have the exact island layout Dx

honestly it's been a pain in the ass and i just put hedges around mine... i'm gonna move the instruments to a separate plaza i made.

Found this thread now, as I just found out yesterday I can't move RS, and was extremely frustrated, but now I see that maybe I can make it work. Mine is 5 tiles away... Had no idea what I was doing in the beginning of the game. All inspiration pics and advice are welcome
